No Signboard Braised Duck located at Queenstown is a popular dining spot among older folks who stay in the west.
Sadly, the owners have decided to hang up their choppers for good.
The stall, located at Mei Ling Market & Food Centre, will be winding up its business come Nov 27.
For the past 5 decades, Mr Lim Cheng Kim and his wife Ms Chen Sai Yu have been waking up at 4am daily to travel to their stall and prep ingredients before their opening at 10am.

They would work until around 1pm before packing up and heading home in the evening.
Their stall specialises in braised duck which perfectly complements rice, porridge, and noodles.
The dishes are prepared based on a family recipe passed on from Mr Lim’s father.
The pair, who are now in their 70s, have decided to wind up business due to their old age.
According to The Straits Times, their children have their own careers and have no plans on taking over.
The elderly couple has received bids to purchase their recipe but has rejected all of them as they feel “the experience required to take over the stall cannot be bought”.
Whether you’re a braised duck fan or just someone who stays in the area, you have roughly 2 weeks left to visit No Signboard Braised Duck before it closes down for good come 27 Nov.
